How to make an application with Cannula. In this tutorial we will create a dashboard application. This will use Cannula and FastAPI as the backend and a simple UI with Jinja templates. Then we will add a reactive UI with a small set of Javascript libraries VanJS and graphql-request.
One of the great things about GraphQL schema first design is there is a ton of tooling in place to auto generate much of the code. This can be as simple as the base types you use or as complex as Apollo client bindings for React or Angular.
Since Cannula is a Python library we’ll focus more on the server-side, and not too much on the UI. Our application will have a number of detail views plus a dashboard to show some high level view of all the data. All the code samples are in the git repo so you can try each step or just skip to the end and run the full application (Chester Cheata’).
